So I just looked... only four of the sixteen host stadiums use grass (Miami and the three Mexican stadiums).
This is going to be a disaster holy god.

The sheiks in Qatar might have employed mass slavery but at least they understood the importance of a well-maintained grass pitch for a high quality football match.

Praying Trump fucks shit up so badly here that FIFA moves the tournament at the last minute. Send it back to Qatar. Anything but here.

ARLINGTON, Texas — When the World Cup comes to Dallas in 2026 -- sorry, we mean Arlington -- AT&T Stadium will feature soccer's biggest stage.
Literally.
AT&T Stadium is one of the larger stadiums in the U.S. But apparently, its playing surface isn't big enough for FIFA, soccer's governing body that runs the World Cup.
As a result, the field level will have to be raised 15 feet to accommodate a wider playing surface.
Here's a look at how high the playing surface will be, in relation to the normal level:

A look at how high the field will be raised at AT&T Stadium for the World Cup.
AT&T Stadium has been a regular host for soccer matches through the years, but nothing on the scale of the World Cup, thus the expanded playing surface required by FIFA.
FIFA field regulations call for about 105 meters long and 68 meters across. That's about 75 yards across; for comparison, a football field is 50 yards across, so any extra room needed for a FIFA regulation field would make a tight squeeze, with sidelines included.
The raised, wider field will also cut into some of the lower bowl seating at the stadium. But with more than 90,000 seats in the building, there should be plenty to go around.
There's still no word on whether the AT&T Stadium games will be played on a grass surface, as opposed to the stadium's usual synthetic playing field. It almost certainly will be grass -- all World Cup games have been played on grass and previous soccer games at AT&T have been played on grass over synthetic, or a mixture of the two.
One other nugget about AT&T Stadium and the World Cup: It will be the rare time a World Cup game has been played inside a domed stadium.
Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium also got a World Cup location for 2026. In 1994, the Pontiac Silverdome near Detroit hosted the first domed stadium. The retractable-roofed Commerzbank-Arena in Germany, now known as Deutsche Bank Park, hosted games during the 2006 World Cup, along with the Veltins Arena.
lol Dallas in 2026 is going to be hilarious

I doubt they'll care, they let the military junta in Argentina rig the 1978 WC. This really sucks though. I'm not going to pretend like Canada would win this with a good pitch, but you definitely notice it every single match. |

Vive, and I cannot stress this enough, la fuckin France. I wen't into the game expecting the exact result that came out. France have been unrelentingly mid all tournament so the result was richly deserved. I no longer have a horse in the race except whoever happens to be playing England. |

Welp this was fun while it lasted. Really excited to see what Kone does at Marsielle, and judging by David's performance this tournament he's not getting a big move this summer.
Also still not fully on team Marsch, but it could definitely be worse.

Torn between wanting to see England lose today and wanting them to win, get their hopes up, then be crushed by Spain in the final.

No idea what the English are thinking. They’re ludicrously outnumbered down there.
